“Returning to the Village to recover from my injuries?” Yu looked at the Anbu Personnel standing before him, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Was this old fellow planning to put This Young Master on ice?
“Yes!” The Anbu Personnel lowered his head respectfully.
“Hokage-sama is concerned for Lord Yu’s safety and has specifically ordered that you return to the Village to recover from your injuries.”
Yu nodded lightly and casually asked, “Does Hokage-sama have any other instructions?”
The Anbu Personnel shook his head.
“Hokage-sama has no further instructions.”
Only after the Anbu Personnel left did Fugaku finally speak.
Sitting across from Yu, he slowly placed his teacup down before saying in a calm voice, “Returning is not a bad thing for you.
Besides recovering from your injuries, you can also take this opportunity to reorganize the Police Force.”
Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully.
According to the original timeline, the Second Shinobi World War would continue for roughly another five years.
During this war, Danzo would lose his arm and become even more twisted afterward, targeting the Uchiha more frantically than before.
If he returned now, it would indeed be a good opportunity to start making preparations.
Besides that, there was another matter he wanted to try.
Senjutsu!
If he could master Sage Techniques ahead of time, then his strength would rise another level.
With his talent, his bloodline, and the strange fused energy inside his body, learning Senjutsu should not be too difficult for him.
Yu was extremely confident in this matter because the mysterious energy inside his body had already grown from the size of a grain of rice into something roughly the size of a thumb through continuous Fusion.
That energy constantly nourished his body while also greatly increasing his comprehension.
Whether it was Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, or Chakra control, his understanding far surpassed ordinary people.
“And the Flying Thunder God Technique…” Yu sneered inwardly.
Once he learned those techniques, then besides monsters like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, who in this Ninja World would he need to fear?
Or perhaps, by the time the energy in his body completely finished Fusion, he might even dare to walk up to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself, lift her chin, and ask: “Beautiful, after all these years, do you still…
cough cough!”
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about?” Nawaki’s voice instantly interrupted his fantasies.
Yu snapped back to reality and saw Nawaki glaring at him angrily while Minato stood nearby with a resentful expression.
Yu blinked innocently.
“Wait a second.
Why are the two of you looking at This Young Master like abandoned wives?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nawaki directly grabbed him by the collar with an agitated expression.
“Don’t play dumb with This Young Master!
Do you think what happened before is over just like that?
Let me tell you, if you ever do something like that again, then we’re not brothers anymore!”
Minato also stepped forward and looked at him seriously.
“Does Senior look down on me that much?”
Seeing the two becoming more emotional the longer they talked, Yu hurriedly waved his hands.
“Stop, stop, stop!
There was a reason for what happened last time!”
“What reason?” Both of them stared at him closely, obviously waiting to hear what kind of excuse he would come up with.
Yu scratched his head awkwardly before finally speaking honestly.
“The main reason was because if you two stayed behind, you would’ve only held This Young Master back.
I really had no choice.”
“You bastard, who are you looking down on?!” Nawaki and Minato exploded simultaneously.
The two immediately pounced on him, but unfortunately for them, even working together, they were still no match for Yu.
After just a few exchanges, he directly knocked both of them onto the floor.
At that moment, the tent curtain was lifted open.
Tsunade walked in and first glanced disdainfully at Nawaki lying on the ground before turning her attention toward Yu.
“Your Physique is really abnormal.
You’ve only been injured for three days, yet you’ve already recovered this much.”
Yu looked down at his hands.
In truth, he had fully recovered by the second day, but naturally, he could not reveal that too openly.
“I still have to thank you.
Otherwise, my injuries this time would’ve been troublesome.”
Tsunade waved her hand impatiently.
“Forget it.
This Lady should actually be thanking you.
If you hadn’t done that back then, this idiot little brother of mine would’ve probably died already.”
At this point, Tsunade glanced at Nawaki with complete disgust, causing him to instantly lower his head obediently without daring to utter another word.
“I should thank you too.”
Along with the voice, Jiraiya walked into the tent and nodded toward Yu.
“If it weren’t for you, Minato might’ve also…”
Minato quickly lowered his head in shame.
“Sumimasen, I held Senior back.”
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly.
“Nobody expected the Kazekage himself to personally make a move.
No one could’ve predicted that.
Fortunately, Yu was capable enough to bring all of you back alive.”
Yu looked at them suspiciously.
“Wait a minute.
Shouldn’t you people be busy right now?
Why are all of you gathered at This Young Master’s place?”
Jiraiya smiled and was just about to sit beside Tsunade when her dangerous gaze immediately forced him to stop midway.
Left with no choice, he sat directly on the floor instead.
“Danzo has already taken over command of the battlefield.
Right now, we don’t need to worry about strategic planning anymore.”
Tsunade immediately looked at him with contempt.
“You say that as if you ever used your brain before Danzo arrived.”
Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly before coughing dryly and restoring his serious expression.
“Anyway, the reason I came is because I want you to take Minato back to the Village together with you.”
Tsunade pointed toward Nawaki, who still had not gotten up from the floor.
“And take this thing with you too.”
Nawaki instantly protested unhappily.
“Sis, I’m your younger brother!
How can you call me a thing…”
Before he could finish speaking, Tsunade’s eyes widened fiercely.
“Shut up for This Lady!”
“Oh…” Nawaki immediately shrank his neck like a frightened chick and became incomparably obedient.
Yu quickly understood their intentions.
“The next battles are going to become even more brutal.
And with Danzo’s personality, he’ll do anything to achieve his goals.
With the current strength of these two…
haha!”
Nawaki and Minato both lowered their heads awkwardly.
One of them was merely a Chunin, while the other had only recently graduated from the Academy.
In a battlefield of this scale, if they were even slightly careless, they could die instantly.
Tsunade suddenly burst into laughter and directly pulled Yu into her chest.
“Hahahaha!
Everyone says Uchiha only know how to fight and never use their brains, but you brat are definitely an exception!”
“Let go, let go!
This Young Master can’t breathe!” Yu struggled desperately.
At this moment, he truly understood why people always said big chest, no brains.
Couldn’t this woman pay attention to their identities?
She was seriously trying to suffocate him to death!
Only after finally escaping from Tsunade’s grasp did Yu gasp for breath repeatedly.
Just now, he had genuinely nearly suffocated.
Seeing the disgusted look on his face, Tsunade immediately exploded.
“You brat, This Lady was rewarding you!
Don’t be so ungrateful!”
“Exactly, exactly!” Jiraiya hurriedly echoed from the side before immediately looking toward Tsunade with a flattering expression.
“Tsunade, that brat doesn’t know how to appreciate your kindness, but I definitely do!”
Bang!
The moment Jiraiya finished speaking, Tsunade’s delicate fist smashed directly into his chest.
In the next second, Jiraiya’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets while his mouth hung wide open.
“Aghhh!”
Tsunade then turned her head toward Yu.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“No!” Yu immediately shook his head frantically.
This woman was simply terrifying.
At the same time, Yu silently offered three seconds of mourning for Tsunade’s future husband.
Wait a second.
Tsunade remained single practically her entire life.
The only man she ever loved died before they likely even held hands properly, and afterward she stayed alone all the way into old age.
Tsunade noticed the strange look in his eyes, and her expression immediately darkened dangerously.
“It seems you still haven’t learned your lesson!”
At that exact moment, Sakumo Hatake walked into the tent.
However, the instant he saw the scene inside, he froze completely.
Nawaki and Minato both had their heads lowered while staring fixedly at their own feet.
Tsunade was currently sitting directly on top of Uchiha Yu while tightly grabbing his neck with both hands.
Meanwhile, one of Yu’s hands was wrapped around Tsunade’s waist, while the other…
“Cough cough!” Sakumo immediately turned around awkwardly.
“Uh…
Yu, Lord Danzo is looking for you.
Hurry and get ready.”
After saying that, Sakumo instantly walked back out, clearly afraid he might see something he really shouldn’t if he stayed any longer.
“Danzo is looking for me?” Doubt immediately appeared in Yu’s eyes.
Why would that old bastard suddenly look for him?
The two sides had practically already torn their faces apart last time.
Could Danzo still be stupid enough to provoke him now?
